Snow! and chickens

Snow shelties - Pow, Brick, Jack and Whiskey

Whiskey and Spot

My chickens....no, MY CHICKENS!

Got 5 inches of snow, and experience which divided the animals into three camps - love snow, neutral about snow, and hate snow. In the love camp? Shelties and Albert. In the hate camp? Goats, Dean, and the silkie chickens. The goats whined vocally about how I needed to stop this stuff from falling, and clean up what already had. The silkies came out of the coop, hit the snow, and started trying to fly as far as they could (not far, they are basically flightless) before landing in the snow, then fluttering again.

Albert loved the snow, snorting around, bucking, sparring with the tree, stampeding - just general enjoyment. Pow plows the snow with his nose, and when you call him he has a pile of snow atleast an inch tall on his muzzle. Everyone else just likes running in it.
